If you had to put a up a holiday gift list for your RX300 what would it be
Assuming I had $$$, this is probably what it would include (some are maintenance items):
1. OBX 1MZFE headers (just the headers themselves), not the complete tubing after the a/f sensor.
2. Braille, Odyssey or other lightweight battery to replace my 5 year old Optima Red Top
3. Construction of a new ram air intake system that can work effectively at sea level and allow it to vent off excess pressure (unlike what I had to deal with back in Mexico City at high altitude)
4. Repainting my bumpers given they've been eaten by bugs since I got back from Mexico
5. 4 quarts of Amsoil ATF plus a new transmission filter
6. IPT transmission upgrades (internals, bands and high-stall torque converter) to replace almost similar custom modifications I had done in Mexico
7. If I didn't have the URD lightweight crankshaft pulley, the NST lightweight 1MZFE crankshaft pulley, plus I'd have to additional pulleys mad lightweight to have a 3 pulley set similar to Unorthodox Racing pulleys for other vehicles
8. A direct flow muffler to replace the large BMW muffler that's indirect (and does a decent job), but that would also minimize noise
9. Two Denso A/F sensors (mine work fine, but if I did headers that would be the time to replace those sensors)
10. A new resonator to replace the one partially damaged by an incompetent tire shop last year (though it does keep the vehicle a bit quieter with a bump in the resonator)
11. Removal of the electrical wiring that went to the side marker/corner lights (just an extra draw on the electrical system I don't need).
12. Repaint of the whole vehicle (not just bumpers though they come first) with aluminum flaked black paint (my cousin did this with his Golf VR6 in Mexico)
13. Powdercoated rims (they would be black)
14. Lightweight rims (like those from Rota)
15. Autoenginuity Laptop Scan Tool with accompanying software with Lexus/Toyota add on package
16. Slotted rotors (it's going to be a while until the current ones die given I get more oxygen at sea level to cool them down)
17. New brake pads (I'm almost 3 years in 2010 on my current Akebono ones, remember when I used to go 6 months between changes in Mexico)
18. Lightweight tires (These will be my last Crossterrains since they don't make them anymore)
19. Two in two out catalytic converter (Magnaflow or maybe even Walker)
20. Custom built throttle body spacer (they make one for the 1MZFE, but only for vehicles with a single and not dual throttle body like we have on our RX300s)
Curious to hear your ideas.

Funny you mention that. I took my RX to Taxco south of Mexico City in the mountains (it's the big silver town) and the priest of the largest church in the city was blessing taxi cabs (it's an annual rite). I asked him if he could bless my RX and he did (of course I gave a nice contribution in pesos to help).

Replace front seats leather and add seat heaters.
Rx330 18 inch rims.
Update my Nav Disc.
Add radio controls to my wheel...if thats even possible.

If I was paying:
1. Timing Belt for second time along with water pump.
2. New pads and rotors all around (still good for another 20k miles so will likely wait, but I want higher quality pads & rotors since I'm currently using Duralast brand)
If someone else was paying:
3. Fix road debris damage (rock chips) on hood.
4. Nav Retrofit
5. RX330 rims ( just got new tires though on my RX300 rims, but hey I'm not paying....)
